‘'Satyam Vada, Dharmam Chara' in Vedic teachings means 'Speak the Truth, Do Virtue'. Various interwoven objects and texts were borrowed and interpreted by artists from biblical treasures, Hindu teachings, to Greek mythology using 'primitive' expressions inspired by the visual culture of early civilization. The sword symbolizes strength and courage in upholding the truth. The ox is a symbol of the 'mother who gives life' in Hinduism, while the horse is an animal that played a role in the spread of culture in the past. This combination becomes a complex picture of our identities, influenced and influenced by each other; This means that tolerance should be our daily perspective and behavior. The courage to think and do the right thing is a logical choice and must be fought for.
